It´s interesting that in my early youth, the only available Miles-First Quintet album available was "Steamin ´" while the others "Cookin´, Relaxin´, Workin´" we didn´t know about yet. "Steamin" was actually my first jazz LP and the music that turned me to a live long jazz fan. 
Cookin´ Relaxin´was later on a 2 LP thing as it was quite often those days. 
I might say, when I was a kid, goin to school etc. "Miles-Coltrane-Garland-Chambers-Philly J.J." were what I might say "my heroes". Garland the first real jazz pianist I heard (I heard Peterson before but forgot about him after hearing Garland) , and Chambers determined me to buy a bass fiddle with some money my Grandma had left for me..... ,made me practice that bass fiddle day and night and boy I had blisters on my fingers....

Disc 2 

Is this all the 5 BN´s plus "Our Man in Paris" ? Roost means the 1947 session with "April" on it and the 1953 session with "Embraceable You" on it ? It´s interesting that people talk more about the BN 1953 session than the Roost session from the same period. I almost never read something my concrete about the 53 Roost session, it is great, both the ballads and the fantastic "Woody´n You" and the only version of "Bag´s Groove" I heard from Bud. 
But in General I like most the things with horn players added like the first BN and the side B of the third one, and the Dexter session...

Terrific.  :tup 

 

If I listen to vocal jazz, Billy Eckstine is my first choice, but in my case with the Big Band 1944-1947. I think the last side of the Savoy Double Album "Mr. B. and the Band" is allready something Hollywood-ish with those syropy strings added. 

I could listen for hours to Billy Eckstine and the bop bigband, but there is not so much material...., and I like Kenny Hagood, Johnny Hartman, well those male singers who worked with the boppers, and some Sarah from that time (Mean to Me, Don´t blame me), 
I saw at some friends place once a thing Billy and Sarah and said I must listen to it, and it was great singin, but the band sounded like some of those no name mainstream studio bands of the fifties...

In my collection, the "Fiesta" "Bird and Diz", "Swedish Schnapps", and "Cole Porter" have the same album covers, the others were Vol. 1 "Night and Day", Vol. 2 "Strings", Vol. 3 "Now´s the Time", Vol. 7 "Jazz Perennial"....so on,

I don´t know who gave them the vol. numbers, since it´s not chronological. I think it is 8 volumes, it was Japanese LPs. I think the one I listened most too is "Swedish Schnapps".

Trio Hurricane - Suite of Winds (Okka, 1986)R-3130552-1318609943.jpg

I haven't listened to this one in ages. Not sure why, because it's so bloody great.

Glenn Spearman on the rampage with a still young and fresh William Parker, really turning up the heat.

Mental note: listen to more Glenn Spearman.

"Our Man in Paris" is not included, probably because Bud was not the leader.

Thanks for that Info. Had always the Idea # 1 to 3 is a different series. Volume 7 is  regretablly missing here. Your "Parker with strings" has also this cover
